Liu Zhilu especially misses the pumpkin rice made by his aunt. At that time, my parents got up early every day to sell fruits, and dinner was usually eaten at seven or eight o'clock in the evening.

The people of the village started their dinner at five or six o'clock in the evening. During this period of time, Liu Zhilu often went around this house, and that family went around, and everyone seemed to be quite miserable. However, he has long been accustomed to it, and he does not feel hungry.

Many people will ask Liu Zhilu to come over and eat something to cushion their stomachs first, but Liu Zhilu will thank him and refuse. He was very principled and backbone at a young age.

The villagers will not be reluctant anymore, Liu Zhilu's parents have already explained to the neighbors, telling everyone not to give Liu Zhilu anything to eat, so as not to bring trouble to everyone and spoil him.

If Liu Zhilu's aunt asked him to come over to eat pumpkin rice, he would not be able to resist. Full of happiness, he generously went in and ate a bowl. When he had finished eating, although he still wanted to eat, his aunt also signaled that she would continue to add another bowl to him. But he said that he had eaten well, and whoever was waiting for him to play, so he quickly slipped away.

He understands that if he eats too much, the people in his aunt's family will not have enough to eat. However, he was even more worried that he would be reprimanded by his father if he ate too much and had no appetite at night.

Since Liu Zhilu was beaten by his father when he didn't eat well and poured rice, he didn't dare to get tired of eating. Eat as much as you can in front of his father. This is also the reason why he was slightly chubby when he was a child. He jumped directly into the deep pit of the lake and was able to float without sinking to the bottom, thanks to his size!

If Liu Zhilu's aunt cares for him as directly as above, it makes him feel very warm and happy; Then his uncle Fan is indirectly covering him and keeping him away from bullying.

Speaking of bullying in the village where Liu Zhilu lives, it is a little different from other places. There, it's generally not that you are bullied, so they go up directly and force you to pay protection money. Instead, they set up a gambling scheme to make you owe a huge amount of gambling money, and then ask you for money every day. If you don't give it, you will be beaten every day.

There is a man in the village who is nicknamed Rotten Hoe, and his family runs a commissary. One day, he gambled with Ah Heng, Ah Shan, and Ah Guan in the village. As a result, the latter three were united out of a thousand pits. He lost more than 2,000 yuan to these three people at once.

At that time, the rotten hoe was only in the fourth grade, and it was impossible to have so much money. So, he had to secretly take money or cigarettes in his store from time to time to pay it back.

If the rotten hoe didn't get the money or cigarettes to the three of them one day, he would inevitably be stopped and beaten by them on the way out of school.

Liu Zhilu often encountered Ah Heng saying something like "take three tomorrow" or "take five tomorrow" to the rotten hoe. Liu Zhilu couldn't understand what he meant. Later, Apan worked as a translator for Liu Zhilu. Saying "take three tomorrow" means that you want to take thirty yuan to pay back the rotten hoe tomorrow. And so on, to take five is to take fifty dollars, and to take ten is to take one hundred dollars.

Because Liu Zhilu has the relationship background of his little cousin A Fan, the above routines have almost never happened to him.

There was only one time when Liu Zhilu played marbles with the defeated family, and each game was bet on fifty marbles, and because Liu Zhilu's skills were not as good as others, in less than an hour, he owed the defeated family 500 marbles. This made Liu Zhilu feel that it was enough, he didn't know when he would be able to pay it back, and he had to don't expect to have pocket money for a long time.

At that time, the pocket money was very strategic for Liu Zhilu, and he had to spend his pocket money to hire someone to write it for him every day. Generally, language homework costs a dime, and math homework costs a dime. He had to spend two cents on snacks himself.

When Liu Zhilu was worried about this matter, Ah Shan, who had a very strong relationship with Liu Zhilu's little cousin A Fan, learned about it. He took Liu Zhilu to find the defeated family, saying that the 500 marbles owed by Liu Zhilu were directly offset from the accounts of the two of them. It turned out that at that time, the defeated family still owed Ahsan 2,000 marbles. After clearing the accounts of Liu Zhilu's 500 pieces, the defeated family still owes Ah Shan 1,500 pieces. The defeated family had no choice but to agree, and swore to Ahsan that the 1,500 owed would be repaid as soon as possible, and begged not to beat him again.
